Christian Union

The Christian Union (CU) is a Christian democratic political party in the Netherlands that was founded on 22 January 2000. The party held social conservative views on issues such as same-sex marriage, abortion, and euthanasia, and it also criticized the European Union. However, the party advocated progressive stances on economics, immigration, and environmental issues. The party considered itself centrist and Calvinist, as it placed an emphasis on the community, social solidarity, support for a welfare state, and support for some regulation of market forces.
